After being successfully trialled in churches last year, a new evangelistic film telling the story of the thief on the cross is set to launch.
The one-hour film, Heaven, How I Got Here: The Story of the Thief on the Cross, is based on a book by Pastor Colin Smith and has been produced by charity Open the Bible in partnership with The Gospel Coalition.
